The Alabama Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Alabama will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Alabama in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Alabama, using actual 2011 Alabama data. Alabama counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Alabama job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Alabama businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Alabama defense prime contractors earned over $8.63 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Alabama defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $1.55 billion – each year.

Alabama defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Alabama private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Alabama could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Alabama could lose 24,614 jobs.

Alabama’s economy could lose $1.46 billion in lost earnings. Alabama could see a $2.12 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Alabama is at least 32,795 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

done for 376 plus years in peacetime and war, one of my greatest concerns is about the effects sequestration will have on our nation's outstanding National Guardsmen, as well as on our ability to respond to the governors' needs and our federal mission readiness.” 2/12/2013

America has an alternative to

Sequestration.

Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Statement:

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Alabama small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

Alabama’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 4,550 Alabama businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many Alabama

businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

258 minority-owned businesses, including 90 owned by Black Americans, 20 owned by Hispanic Americans, 42 owned by Native Americans, 27 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 79 owned by other minority Americans.

229 small businesses including 120 “8A” and small disadvantaged businesses (SDB’s)

Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Statement:

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Arizona small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

Arizona’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 4,261 Arizona businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many Arizona

businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

179 minority-owned businesses, including 34 owned by Black Americans, 80 owned by Hispanic Americans, 13 owned by Native Americans, 30 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 22 owned by other minority Americans.

173 small businesses including 95 “8A” and small disadvantaged businesses (SDB’s)

The Arkansas Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Arkansas will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Arkansas in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Arkansas, using actual 2011 Arkansas data. Arkansas counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Arkansas job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Arkansas businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Arkansas defense prime contractors earned over $442 million in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Arkansas defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $80 million – each year.

Arkansas defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Arkansas private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Arkansas could lose thousands of private sector jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Arkansas could lose 3,452 jobs.

Arkansas’ economy could lose $204 million in lost earnings. Arkansas could see a $296 million decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Arkansas is at least 5,614 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

done for 376 plus years in peacetime and war, one of my greatest concerns is about the effects sequestration will have on our nation's outstanding National Guardsmen, as well as on our ability to respond to the governors' needs and our federal mission readiness.” 2/12/2013

Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Statement:

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Colorado small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

Colorado’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 5,018 Colorado businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many Colorado

businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

177 minority-owned businesses, including 35 owned by Black Americans, 83 owned by Hispanic Americans, 24 owned by Native Americans, 19 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 16 owned by other minority Americans.

215 small businesses including 103 “8A” and small disadvantaged businesses (SDB’s)

239 woman-owned businesses

229 veteran-owned businesses, including 121 owned by service-disabled veterans

The Connecticut Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Connecticut will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Connecticut in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Connecticut, using actual 2011 Connecticut data. Connecticut counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Connecticut job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Connecticut businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Connecticut defense prime contractors earned over $12.89 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Connecticut defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $2.32 billion – each year.

Connecticut defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Connecticut private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Connecticut could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Connecticut could lose 34,215 jobs.

Connecticut’s economy could lose $1.99 billion in lost earnings. Connecticut could see a $2.90 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Connecticut is at least 35,190 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

done for 376 plus years in peacetime and war, one of my greatest concerns is about the effects sequestration will have on our nation's outstanding National Guardsmen, as well as on our ability to respond to the governors' needs and our federal mission readiness.” 2/12/2013

Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Statement:

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Florida small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

Florida’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 12,440 Florida businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many Florida

businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

605 minority-owned businesses, including 156 owned by Black Americans, 278 owned by Hispanic Americans, 19 owned by Native Americans, 80 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 72 owned by other minority Americans.

The Georgia Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Georgia will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Georgia in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Georgia, using actual 2011 Georgia data. Georgia counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Georgia job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Georgia businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Georgia defense prime contractors earned over $5.28 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Georgia defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $951 million – each year.

Georgia defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Georgia private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Georgia could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Georgia could lose 25,450 jobs.

Georgia’s economy could lose $1.50 billion in lost earnings. Georgia could see a $2.19 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Georgia is at least 47,034 jobs.

Idaho job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Idaho businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Idaho defense prime contractors earned over $324 million in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18% revenue

cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Idaho defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $58 million – each year.

Idaho defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. Idaho private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Idaho could lose hundreds of private sector jobs and tens of millions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Idaho could lose 805 jobs.

Idaho’s economy could lose $48 million in lost earnings. Idaho could see a $69 million decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Idaho is at least 2,062 jobs.

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Idaho small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration defense

budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Illinois Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Illinois will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Illinois in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Illinois, using actual 2011 Illinois data. Illinois counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Iowa will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Iowa in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Iowa, using actual 2011 Iowa data. Iowa counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Iowa job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Iowa businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Iowa defense prime contractors earned over $1.25 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18% revenue

cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Iowa defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $224 million – each year.

Iowa defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

Gone. Iowa private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Iowa could lose thousands of private sector jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Iowa could lose 4,730 jobs.

Iowa’s economy could lose $279 million in lost earnings. Iowa could see a $406 million decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Iowa is at least 5,379 jobs.

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

The Louisiana Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Louisiana will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Louisiana in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Louisiana, using actual 2011 Louisiana data. Louisiana counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Louisiana job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Louisiana businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Louisiana defense prime contractors earned over $1.96 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Louisiana defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $352 million – each year.

Louisiana defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Louisiana private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Louisiana could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Louisiana could lose 17,751 jobs.

Louisiana’s economy could lose $1.05 billion in lost earnings. Louisiana could see a $1.53 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Louisiana is at least 22,312 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Statement:

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Louisiana small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

The Massachusetts Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Massachusetts will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Massachusetts in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Massachusetts, using actual 2011 Massachusetts data. Massachusetts counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Massachusetts job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Massachusetts businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Massachusetts defense prime contractors earned over $11.97 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Massachusetts defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $2.15 billion – each year.

Massachusetts defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Massachusetts private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Massachusetts could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Massachusetts could lose 38,240 jobs.

Massachusetts’ economy could lose $2.27 billion in lost earnings. Massachusetts could see a $3.31 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Massachusetts is at least 40,504 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

done for 376 plus years in peacetime and war, one of my greatest concerns is about the effects sequestration will have on our nation's outstanding National Guardsmen, as well as on our ability to respond to the governors' needs and our federal mission readiness.” 2/12/2013

Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Statement:

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Massachusetts small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

Massachusetts’ businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 6,309 Massachusetts businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many

Massachusetts businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

100 minority-owned businesses, including 18 owned by Black Americans, 19 owned by Hispanic Americans, 1 owned by Native Americans, 28 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 34 owned by other minority Americans.

Minnesota small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

Minnesota’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 3,433 Minnesota businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many

Minnesota businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

46 minority-owned businesses, including 13 owned by Black Americans, 6 owned by Hispanic Americans, 4 owned by Native Americans, 9 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 14 owned by other minority Americans.

61 small businesses including 42 “8A” and small disadvantaged businesses (SDB’s)

The Mississippi Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Mississippi will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Mississippi in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Mississippi, using actual 2011 Mississippi data. Mississippi counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Mississippi job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Mississippi businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Mississippi defense prime contractors earned over $5.26 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Mississippi defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $947 million – each year.

Mississippi defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Mississippi private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Mississippi could lose thousands of private sector jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Mississippi could lose 4,961 jobs.

Mississippi’s economy could lose $293 million in lost earnings. Mississippi could see a $426 million decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Mississippi is at least 8,891 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

done for 376 plus years in peacetime and war, one of my greatest concerns is about the effects sequestration will have on our nation's outstanding National Guardsmen, as well as on our ability to respond to the governors' needs and our federal mission readiness.” 2/12/2013

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Montana’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 1,182 Montana businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many Montana

businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

31 minority-owned businesses, including 3 owned by Hispanic Americans, 12 owned by Native Americans, 3 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 13 owned by other minority Americans.

The Nebraska Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Nebraska will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Nebraska in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Nebraska, using actual 2011 Nebraska data. Nebraska counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Nebraska job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Nebraska businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Nebraska defense prime contractors earned over $846 million in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Nebraska defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $152 million – each year.

Nebraska defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Nebraska private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Nebraska could lose thousands of private sector jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Nebraska could lose 2,405 jobs.

Nebraska’s economy could lose $142 million in lost earnings. Nebraska could see a $207 million decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Nebraska is at least 4,492 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

done for 376 plus years in peacetime and war, one of my greatest concerns is about the effects sequestration will have on our nation's outstanding National Guardsmen, as well as on our ability to respond to the governors' needs and our federal mission readiness.” 2/12/2013

Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Statement:

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

New Hampshire small businesses could be first to go when

Sequestration defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

New Hampshire’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 1,524 New Hampshire businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many New

Hampshire businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

18 minority-owned businesses, including 4 owned by Black Americans, 4 owned by Hispanic Americans, 1 owned by Native Americans, 4 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 5 owned by other minority Americans.

25 small businesses including 17 “8A” and small disadvantaged businesses (SDB’s)

The New Jersey Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

New Jersey will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in New Jersey in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect New Jersey, using actual 2011 New Jersey data. New Jersey counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

New Jersey job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

New Jersey businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

New Jersey defense prime contractors earned over $7.36 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

New Jersey defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $1.33 billion – each year.

New Jersey defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. New Jersey private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that New Jersey could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

New Jersey could lose 23,870 jobs.

New Jersey’s economy could lose $1.41 billion in lost earnings. New Jersey could see a $2.05 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for New Jersey is at least 28,786 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

New York job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

New York businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

New York defense prime contractors earned over $8.32 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

New York defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $1.50 billion – each year.

New York defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. New York private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that New York could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

New York could lose 26,768 jobs.

New York’s economy could lose $1.58 billion in lost earnings. New York could see a $2.30 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for New York is at least 34,773 jobs.

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

New York small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

New York’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 8,973 New York businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many New York

The North Carolina Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

North Carolina will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in North Carolina in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect North Carolina, using actual 2011 North Carolina data. North Carolina counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Ohio will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Ohio in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Ohio, using actual 2011 Ohio data. Ohio counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Ohio job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Ohio businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Ohio defense prime contractors earned over $6.33 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18% revenue

cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Ohio defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $1.14 billion – each year.

Ohio defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

Gone. Ohio private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Ohio could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Ohio could lose 18,424 jobs.

Ohio’s economy could lose $1.09 billion in lost earnings. Ohio could see a $1.58 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Ohio is at least 26,051 jobs.

The Pennsylvania Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Pennsylvania will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Pennsylvania in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Pennsylvania, using actual 2011 Pennsylvania data. Pennsylvania counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Pennsylvania job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Pennsylvania businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Pennsylvania defense prime contractors earned over $10.63 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Pennsylvania defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $1.91 billion – each year.

Pennsylvania defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Pennsylvania private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Pennsylvania could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Pennsylvania could lose 36,157 jobs.

Pennsylvania’s economy could lose $2.13 billion in lost earnings. Pennsylvania could see a $3.11 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Pennsylvania is at least 43,803 jobs.

Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Statement:

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Pennsylvania small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

Pennsylvania’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 9,227 Pennsylvania businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many

Pennsylvania businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

166 minority-owned businesses, including 49 owned by Black Americans, 29 owned by Hispanic Americans, 10 owned by Native Americans, 35 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 43 owned by other minority Americans.

The South Dakota Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

South Dakota will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in South Dakota in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect South Dakota, using actual 2011 South Dakota data. South Dakota counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

South Dakota job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

South Dakota businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

South Dakota defense prime contractors earned over $422 million in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

South Dakota defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $76 million – each year.

South Dakota defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. South Dakota private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that South Dakota could lose thousands of private sector jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

South Dakota could lose 1,701 jobs.

South Dakota’s economy could lose $100 million in lost earnings. South Dakota could see a $146 million decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for South Dakota is at least 2,700 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

done for 376 plus years in peacetime and war, one of my greatest concerns is about the effects sequestration will have on our nation's outstanding National Guardsmen, as well as on our ability to respond to the governors' needs and our federal mission readiness.” 2/12/2013

Representative Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Statement:

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

Texas small businesses could be first to go when Sequestration defense

budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

Texas’ businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 16,060 Texas businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many Texas

businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

1,004 minority-owned businesses, including 197 owned by Black Americans, 556 owned by Hispanic Americans, 44 owned by Native Americans, 77 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 130 owned by other minority Americans.

825 small businesses including 399 “8A” and small disadvantaged businesses (SDB’s)

The Utah Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Utah will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Utah in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Utah, using actual 2011 Utah data. Utah counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Utah job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Utah businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Utah defense prime contractors earned over $2.31 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18% revenue

cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Utah defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $416 million – each year.

Utah defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Utah private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Utah could lose thousands of private sector jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Utah could lose 7,658 jobs.

Utah’s economy could lose $452 million in lost earnings. Utah could see a $658 million decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Utah is at least 12,402 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

done for 376 plus years in peacetime and war, one of my greatest concerns is about the effects sequestration will have on our nation's outstanding National Guardsmen, as well as on our ability to respond to the governors' needs and our federal mission readiness.” 2/12/2013

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path.

defense budget cuts arrive. Branches of the military have already announced cuts including lay-offs of temporary and contract workers, cuts in training, furloughs, reductions in force structure, longer deployments, maintenance delays and contract cancellations.

Our troop size will diminish Over 200,000 soldiers could, ultimately be eliminated from the Army’s active duty, National Guard and Reserve.

The Army will lose 80,000 active- duty troops.

The Air Force will remove approximately 9,900 personnel from their ranks within the next five years.

The Marine Corp. will be reducing its size by 8,000 troops.

Virginia’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 14,683 Virginia businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many Virginia

businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

1,079 minority-owned businesses, including 371 owned by Black Americans, 206 owned by Hispanic Americans, 72 owned by Native Americans, 242 owned by Asian-Pacific Americans, and 188 owned by other minority Americans.

992 small businesses including 446 “8A” and small disadvantaged businesses (SDB’s)

The Washington Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Washington will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Washington in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Washington, using actual 2011 Washington data. Washington counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Washington job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Washington businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Washington defense prime contractors earned over $7.85 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Washington defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $1.41 billion – each year.

Washington defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.

Gone. The USA military’s ability to get to threats

Air Force will be reducing depot maintenance workloads by a third -- Affecting C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft, C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft and the KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft.

The Navy will be reducing in its carrier fleet - from 11 to 9. The USS Abraham Lincoln is undergoing a four-year overhaul to increase its life span, the USS Enterprise was deactivated, and the USS Harry S. Truman's deployment to the Persian Gulf was canceled

Gone. Washington private sector jobs will be cut, as well as state earnings.

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that Washington could lose tens of thousands of private sector jobs and billions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

Washington could lose 15,648 jobs.

Washington’s economy could lose $924 million in lost earnings. Washington could see a $1.34 billion decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for Washington is at least 30,337 jobs.

America’s defenses under Sequestration – Unprepared

General Martin Dempsey, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I will tell you personally, if ever the force is so degraded and

so unready and then we’re asked to use it, it would be immoral to use the force unless it’s well trained, well- led and well equipped.” 2/12/2013

“We will not be able to find the money we need to achieve the level of sequestration cuts without a dramatic impact in our readiness.” 7/18/2013

General Frank J. Grass, Chief, National Guard Bureau: “As I watch our Guard members again step up as they've always

done for 376 plus years in peacetime and war, one of my greatest concerns is about the effects sequestration will have on our nation's outstanding National Guardsmen, as well as on our ability to respond to the governors' needs and our federal mission readiness.” 2/12/2013

A 2011 nationwide economic impact study from the Center for Regional Analysis at George Mason University predicts that West Virginia could lose thousands of private sector jobs and tens of millions of dollars under the Sequestration law:

West Virginia could lose 1,047 jobs.

West Virginia’s economy could lose $62 million in lost earnings. West Virginia could see a $90 million decrease in Gross State Product (GSP).

The Bottom Line: Projected Job Loss for West Virginia is at least 1,783 jobs.

“America's military has absorbed $487 billion in defense cuts under President Obama, with $500 billion yet to come with sequestration. Refusing to consider reforms to the mandatory spending that is driving our debt crisis, while using our troops as a piggy bank to keep unsustainable spending programs on life support, will have both fiscal and strategic consequences. We urge the President to lead, rather than loop endlessly around a beaten path. It is in his power to forge a deal that reigns in our debt without levying more taxes on struggling Americans, and without hollowing out an at-war military.” 2/5/2013

West Virginia’s businesses – especially small businesses – are at risk.

From 2000-2012, 1,071 West Virginia businesses provided goods and services for America’s national defense. In 2012, many West

Virginia businesses were minority owned or other types of small businesses:

15 minority-owned businesses, including 5 owned by Black Americans, 3 owned by Hispanic Americans, 3 owned by Native Americans, and 4 owned by other minority Americans.

The Wisconsin Defense Breakdown Economic Impact Report

Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. Our Defense budget has absorbed over 50%

of deficit reduction – yet it accounts for less than 20% of federal spending.

The burden will be worse under the Sequestration Budget Cuts – unless the President and

Congress take action. The 2011 Sequestration law will cut the Defense budget by $500 billion over the next 9

years – totaling about 18% a year including earlier 2013 – 2021 cuts.

Wisconsin will lose jobs and businesses under Sequestration Defense cuts. Sequestration will destroy jobs and businesses in Wisconsin in 2013. This report shows how average 2013 defense budget reductions of at least 9% plus the additional Sequestration cuts totaling up to 18% could affect Wisconsin, using actual 2011 Wisconsin data. Wisconsin counties, cities and industries will be hit by these cuts.

The Military will be unprepared for the threats they will face. Both the Army and Air Force National Guard

will reduce training. Including a reduction in initial-qualification training as well as advanced training for

intelligence specialists

Army estimates state that 78% of all non-deploying or non-forward stationed units will be required to curtail

training

America’s missile defenses will be undermined: The Navy will reduce Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) Patrols in the

Middle East, Atlantic and Mediterranean

Several SSN (nuclear-powered general-purpose attack) submarine

deployments will be cancelled

Sequestration could eliminate the ICBM leg

of the nuclear triad

We are facing a growing missile threat from our

enemies: The Russian military is developing and deploying an array of

new and modernized anti-missile interceptors

North Korea has also been expanding the capabilities of its

rockets and missiles

The Chinese ballistic missile force is expanding in both size and

types of missiles

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel: “[I]f [sequestration cuts] remain in place for FY 2014 and beyond, the size, readiness and technological superiority of our military will be reduced, placing at much greater risk the country’s ability to meet our current national security commitments” 7/10/2013 Former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta: “We’d be shooting ourselves in the head.” 9/22/2011

Wisconsin job losses under Sequestration could be permanent.

Wisconsin businesses will not escape the 9% and 18% cuts.

Wisconsin defense prime contractors earned over $2.91 billion in 2012 protecting America, but now they face 18%

revenue cuts under Sequestration - starting in 2013.

Wisconsin defense contractor revenue losses could be greater than $524 million – each year.

Wisconsin defense contractors may have to lay off workers or even shut down under Sequestration cuts.
